With a tightening and highly competitive market across many service-based industries numerous business owners have increased their networking endeavours with the hope of sourcing their next potential client or business opportunity using this approach.

While networking should be an integral part of your marketing and communications plan (and overall business development strategy) there are some secrets which can make a significant difference between not really generating much success (and the potential for networking burnout) in comparison to building influential and productive relationships that open the doors to potential business opportunities.

To avoid networking burnout, ensure you’re adopting the top ten effective habits of highly successful networkers.

A highly successful networker:

1.Is clear on their niche, their idea target market and can clearly articulate this when seeking support or communicating with members of their network.

2.Has a clear understanding of their personal and business brand, their unique selling proposition and can professionally communicate their brand both in person and in online networking opportunities.

3.Has up-to-date marketing material, (which can include business cards, brochures, website, business blog, and profiles on multiple social networking platforms) that highlights the solutions and benefits that you offer to a potential client as well as successes of your former/existing clients.

4.Is able to speak confidently (not arrogantly) about their strengths and successes so that potential clients and key stakeholders are able to grasp the WIIFM (what’s in it for me) should they decide to invest in you.

5.Has a powerful and memorable ‘marketing pitch’ that can be utilised as an introduction to networking events and that question ‘So what is it that you do?’

6.Has a written strategic networking plan that encompasses regular attendance of both online and offline networking activities that allows them to continually expand and leverage a diverse network.

7.Utilises a network management system to effectively track their networking endeavours and important information about each member of their network.

8.Adopts an approach of regularly sharing relevant information with people in their network with a mindset of no expectations in return. They continually nurture their network as part of their long-term business management plan and not just when seeking new business opportunities, so that when they need to seek help from their network, people are far more open to supporting them.

9.Knows how to frame and deliver the right questions to whom they are speaking to enable ongoing expansion of their network or an opportunity to speak to a key decision maker.

10.Surrounds themselves with positive and supportive people who continue to strengthen and enhance the enthusiasm they portray during their business development and marketing activities. This is in complete contrast to being surrounded with nay-sayers who can seriously undermine your enthusiasm and ultimately your business development and revenue outcomes.

If you’ve ticked all ten areas, then congratulations – you’re a highly successful networker and are communicating your brand professionally and prominently in readiness for when that ideal client or business opportunity presents itself.

If, on the other hand you haven’t ticked all ten areas, then my suggestion would be to select, work on and integrate one new area each week into your networking plan so that you too can become a ‘star’ networker.

So which strategy are you going to work on this week?

These days, we are so accustomed to telegraph message that it is hard for us to imagine the excitement that was felt in the nineteenth century when the first cables were laid.

Cable-laying proved to be immensely difficult. The cable, which, in the autumn of 1850, carried telegraph messages between England and France, had a very short life. The day after was laid, a fisherman `caught’ the cable by mistake. Thinking that the copper    wire at the centre of the thick cable was gold, he cut a piece off to show his friends. However, a new cable was put down and soon news could travel quickly across Europe. But there was no way of sending messages between Europe and America.

When the `Atlantic Telegraph Company’ was formed in 1856, a serious attempt was made to `join; Europe to America with no less than, 3735 kilometers of cable. As no single ship could carry such a weight; the job was shared by two sailing vessels, the `Agamemnon’ and the `Niagara.’ The intention was that, the intention was that, after setting out in opposite directions, they should meet in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean where the two cables would be connected together. But the ships had hardly covered 487 kilometers when the cable broke.

In 1858, a second attempt was made. This time, greatly hindered by storms, the ships were again unsuccessful. There was great rejoicing a few months later, when, after the combined effort of both ships, Britain and America were at last connected by cable and the Queen of England was able to speak to the president of the United States. This cable, however, lasted only seven weeks.

Further attempts were postponed until 1864 when Brunel’s steamship, the `Great Eastern,’ set forth. This powerful ship did the whole job by itself, but again the messages could not travel freely because the cable developed a fault. While it was being mended, it broke and 2111 kilometers of it lay on the ocean floor. But two years later, the `Great Eastern’ completed a highly successfully journey and since then, it has become possible to send messages to all parts of the world.

In discussing the key important habits of habits of highly successful people, we need to identify those habits which propel them to become unique and successful. Let’s consider the following the following three of these unique habits. By doing so and by applying these habits to your everyday life to the fullest degree possible, you can help in propelling yourself towards your own new, ever-greater levels of business and personal success.

Adaptable to Change

It’s certainly no exaggeration and safe to say that more change has occurred in the world in the last five years than in the last fifty! We live in an era of fast-paced, rapid change and growth the likes of which have never happened before. Indeed, “the half life of technical knowledge is less than three years”, quoted a Hewltt Packard`engineer, “which makes me an antique before I’m 30″, he concludes. New waves and changing trends can come and go so fast that you can easily be left struggling hopelessly behind. Highly successful people though, readily adapt to even quite rapid change.

Are Self Motivated and Highly Passionate

Examine the academic background of a great number of the world’s highest contributors and achievers – all highly successful people – and you would very likely come up with one commonly starling fact: early academic achievement and entrepreneuership DO NOT usually go hand-in-hand. In fact, a large percentage of highly successful people are not the smartest, the most athletic, the brightest or even the most talented in their respective fields. This may mean that you needn’t have graduated near the top of your class, been the most outstanding athlete or have had any of the so-called “advantages” that so many deem necessary for success. But you must though, like highly successful people, have a great passion for what you do. You need to have “a fire burning in your heart”. One of the most distinctive habits of highly successful people then, is that they perform their virtually all of their daily tasks with a great passion. They typically have a great zest for life as well.

Endeavor to Persevere

To “Never give up” is a mantra, key phrase and an important habit of most highly successful people. Some may call it “stickability” – a word that’s not in the dictionary but conveys precisely what that quality truly entails. In one of the great Winston Churchill’s most quoted, revered and memorable speeches, he stood up before his audience, paused a moment, then said, “Never, never, never, never, never give up”, then the great leader and orator sat back down to a standing ovation. So then, a third distinctive habit of highly successful people is that they never, never, but never quit in the midst of any important task regardless of how large or small it may be.

Apply These Habits to Your Daily Life

By applying these key habits of highly successful people to your everyday life, you too can attract and promote success in your every business and personal endeavor. Why not get started today?

The phrase, “are confident” can be misleading though.  A better  phrase would be “seem confident”.  Confidence is not something you are born with, like hair and eye color.  Confidence is something that is built up over time.  -Guess What?-  It can be learned and improved at any time!  Read on to find out how to improve your confidence

Study confident people

Watch confident people carefully.  See the way they talk.  Their voices are often loud but not booming.  The speak clearly.  Watch the way they walk.  Backs strait and head held high.  Their general boby language can be telling.  Their posture and the unconscious movements are just as important as their conscious decisions.  To be confident you will need to seem confident.  To do that the first step in how to improve your confidence will always be to learn what confidence looks like.

Self affirmation to build your confidence

A confident person is not a better person than you.  They do not inherently “deserve” better things.  You need to know that you are worth of confidence and success also.  Think about the good things you do and be proud of them.  If you are struggling to improve yourself and become a better person, be proud of THAT.  Few people in life take the effort to really improve themselves.  You need to discover the positive things in yourself and be proud of them.  Be Confident in these abilities and your potential for growth.

Fake it till you make it

To be confident, act confident.  Emulate those things you saw watching confident people in the first steps.  One thing you need to learn is that when you are pretending confidence you are not alone.  Few people are ever really as confident as they seem.  In some ways confidence is a shell game.  You are performing a sleight of hand and trying to get people to believe you are something that you may not be….Yet.

How to improve your confidence:  Be confident

The final step is a funny one.  One day after you have been faking confidence in an area, say giving speeches, you will wake up and find out you ARE confident.  It doesn’t happen in a flash, but in incremental degrees.  You will be slightly less worried each time you try it.  Less worried and more confident.  Then one day you wake up and –Poof!- you realize you are confident, and likely have been for a bit.  It is shocking, it is sobering and it is awesome.

Take the steps now to become truly successful, confident and sure.  Learn the steps to improve your confidence!

Public speaking is the most common fear that human beings have, ahead of death itself and any selection among the menagerie of gruesome creature, pestilent diseases, or any other anxiety-causing activities.

Because of this fear, the task to speak confidently in front of people can be daunting and difficult for many. Despite the obstacles and stresses, though, there are fortunately a few simple concepts to be remembered in order to improve confidence and delivery for any presentation, including the big secret to gaining and maintaining confidence.

Clarity

While it may be obvious that speakers should speak clearly and enunciate their words, in reality, the idea of clarity encompasses much more than pronunciation. The practice applies even in preparation, when the very bullet points to be discussed should be organized in a clear, thoughtful manner, and even the very subject should be considered in the light of effective communication.

From top to bottom, from overarching themes to individual word choices, a speech or presentation should be prepared in a way that maximizes its potential to inform, entertain, or persuade. If the idea is clear, then organized clearly, then has tools available to help clarify further, then the presenter, armed with a top-rate presentation, should already have a confidence boost because of the high quality of his or her materials. Once that is in place, the delivery just becomes another ingredient of the idea, and becomes the simple task of making sure the speaking portion is delivered clearly, at a good volume, in a moderate pace, while avoiding “uh” and “um” but using silent pauses in appropriate places.

Eye Contact

This is one key component to an effective presentation that is largely overlooked and may seem minor; however, in actuality it can not only form the difference between a bad presentation and an effective in, but can actually be used as a confidence-booster when mastered.

To speak confidently in front of people involves addressing the audience in a direct, targeted fashion. This demands eye contact; the speakers eyes should be taking in wide-angle gazes over the entire assembly, as well as pointedly locking onto specific targets a few times a minute as well. This makes the topic much more engaging, making every listener pay more attention, and hitting it home personally as well. The fact is, if the preparation is properly performed, and the speaker has the materials mastered (thus already forming a solid foundation for confident deliver), it will make it that much easier to focus on the listeners, rather than the notes.

The Secret

Finally, the One Big Secret, which begins with the question: What is the difference between truly being confident and just acting confident?

The answer: Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

And that is the most significant realization many people can take in order to establish their confidence. When it comes to having to speak confidently in front of people, it is not a task that requires the highest self-worth, or a flawless self-image, or hundreds of hours of experience, or the most impressive pedigree. It just requires the choice to turn nervous energy into confident energy. Just acting confident is exactly the same as being confident; if you can act like you are confident then, believe it or not, you are being confident in that moment. So, go up there and act like you’re an all-star, act like you are going to knock this speech out of the park, act like you are excited, and act like you are one of the most confident human beings on the planet. By the time you are finished, you will realize that it eventually came naturally, and you just transitioned into true, consistent confidence.

The connection between B vitamin complex and stress is well known; although why a good B vitamin complex can reduce stress is less well known. Before discussing the reason why a Vitamin B formula can reduce stress, we shall first have a look at stress and what causes it. The term means different things to different people, and a stressful situation to one person might not be such to another.

The biochemistry of stress is fairly complex, although involves the production and release of hormones into your bloodstream. When an event occurs that causes stress, the hypothalamus portion of your brain becomes involved. It releases cotocotropin releasing factor (CRF), a hormone that protects you from stress by raising your spirits. CRF sends signals to the pituitary gland causing the release of ACHT (Adrenocorticotropic hormone corticotropin) that causes cortisol to be released into the bloodstream by the adrenal glands. Cortisol speeds up the metabolism.

Coincidentally, the cells of the brain stem and spinal cord send a message that stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete epinephrine that increases the heart rate, breathing and alertness, ready for fight or flight. Both of these mechanisms then lead back to the pituitary gland and your new stress level can repeat the process or stop it, should your stress be reduced. If this cycle continues over an extended period of time it can have serious repercussions on your mental and physical health.

The B vitamins can help to regulate this biochemical function, and in doing so can reduce stress, and with it the associated anxiety and depression. In fact many of the symptoms of vitamin B deficiency are those that are also associated with stress: anxiety, nervousness, depression irritability and so on. There is no one specific form of Vitamin B that helps with stress, and there are eight in total. However, in saying that, the three members of the B vitamin complex that have most effect on stress are vitamins B 3, 6 and 12.

Every one of the B vitamins is involved in cell metabolism. Because they are soluble in water, they are quickly leached from the body so have to be replaced on a regular basis. The various B vitamins are needed by your body for specific purposes, such as Vitamin B1 (thiamin) is essential for the correct function of your nerves, brain and muscles. Although others have their own particular areas of responsibility, they are generally lumped together, not only because they are all soluble in water, but also because they each have a profound effect on the metabolism of your body.

Those mostly connected with the nervous system are Vitamins B3, B6 and B12. Vitamin B3 (Niacin) helps to maintain the proper health of your digestive system, skin and nerves, and B12 (cobalamin) is also needed for a healthy nervous system. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) along with vitamin B12 are the two principal members of the B complex that have an effect on stress, and a deficiency of these can make you more prone to this frequently debilitating condition. In fact many people that are suffering from a general Vitamin B deficiency have various forms of mental problems.

Because Vitamin B12 is available only from animal sources, deficiencies are common in vegetarians, and even more common in vegans who are advised to take a Vitamin B12 supplement. However, in general you are best to take a Vitamin B complex as opposed to a supplement of any specific member of the B family. This is because a surplus of any one could lead to a depletion of others.

It is thought that much of today’s stress is caused by an inadequate diet, and a diet deficient in various forms of Vitamin B is believed to render the subject particularly prone to stress and anxiety. People that have been suffering undue levels of stress over a protracted period of time can be helped by a regular treatment of B vitamins. In taking such supplements, however, you should also be aware of the various possible effects on your body that the causes of your stress can have. These are frequently neither understood nor recognized when they occur.

For example, if you are under stress due to a poor diet, or conversely, are eating a poor diet due to your high stress levels, you might be building up fatty deposits in your liver. Because of this your general health could be at serious risk in addition to your mental health. It is important, therefore, that you don’t just restrict yourself to a B vitamin complex, but also take a supplement containing inositol and choline bitartrate.

These can reduce the fatty deposit that a poor diet can cause to build up in your liver with consequent risk to life. Such deposits affect the ability of your liver to destroy the environmental toxins to which become exposed as part of your daily life, and which can be directly related to your ability to counter high stress levels.

In general, however, if you are prone to stress and get nervous and worried about the slightest thing that doesn’t go to plan, a B vitamin complex can help: vitamin B can reduce stress, although if your stress is sever you would be better advised consulting a physician than a health store.

Stress is a serious condition, and not one that should be treated lightly. It is possible to treat some stress conditions by using a good B vitamin complex, although should the stress be serious then you should consult your physician. Frequently the stress is not diet related, but due to personal circumstances that cannot be cured by any form of supplement.

However, there are few doubts that a course of Vitamin B supplements can help to overcome many of the metabolic causes of stress, and make up for any deficiency in these vitamins that leave your body almost as quickly as they enter it. Vitamin B can reduce stress, but only if your stress is due to a deficiency: and this is more common that most people are aware.
